Progress shots of embroidery sampling on white and navy in cotton and bamboo wool. My local haberdasher had a big sale and I wanted to stock up on non floss types of yarns and test them out for upcoming projects.

I really liked the way they caught the morning light as I tried to arrange them into a continuous rainbow, and it is so therapeutic to just stitch away without worrying about a design. I loved the way the moods changed as i worked my way through the rainbow and each hue altered the balances. They looked and felt so nice once I was done I had to frame them - in the one colour that doesn’t appear in the sample, duck egg blue!

My Etsy shop is now restocked with a vast selection for the holiday season. I have decided to showcase a mixture of styles as well as examples of previous stock so if something doesn’t take your fancy you can request a custom order as long as I have the leather!
